An anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door includes a sensing module, a detection module, and a warning module. The sensing module is configured to sense whether a passenger has an intention to open a vehicle door and output a sensing result. The control module is coupled to the sensing module, the detection module and warning module, and the control module is configured to control the warning module to issue an alert based on information on traffic conditions from the detection module in response to the sensing result being YES. The anti-collision warning system can issue an alert to the passenger in a timely and effective manner when it senses that the passenger has the intention to open the vehicle door. Therefore, the passenger would be alerted and determine whether it is an appropriate time to open the vehicle door, thus preventing the vehicle door from colliding with an object.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 1, further comprising a door-state monitoring module, wherein an output terminal of the door-state monitoring module is coupled to the control module; the control module is configured to receive monitoring information on a state of the vehicle door from the door-state monitoring module; and the control module is configured to output a control instruction to activate the anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door in response to the state of the vehicle door being closed.
3. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 1, further comprising a vehicle-speed monitoring module, wherein an output terminal of the vehicle-speed monitoring module is coupled to the control module; the control module is configured to receive monitoring information on vehicle speed from the vehicle-speed monitoring module; and the control module is configured to output a control instruction to activate the anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door in response to the vehicle speed being lower than a preset speed.
4. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 1, wherein the sensing module is a sensor provided on a door handle.
5. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 4, wherein the sensor comprises a capacitive proximity sensor and an IR proximity sensor.
6. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 1, wherein the display unit is a vehicle glass with a projection function.
7. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 6, wherein the vehicle glass with a projection function is a projection glass or a glass integrated with a display screen.
8. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 1, wherein the information collection unit is an ultrasonic radar, a millimeter-wave radar, an infrared sensor, or a LiDAR sensor.
9. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 1, wherein the information on traffic conditions around the vehicle comprises any one or more of the following: presence or absence of an object on a rear side of the vehicle door, distance between the object and the vehicle door, forward speed of the object, and time the object takes to reach the vehicle door.
10. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 1, wherein the prompting unit is a light prompting unit, a sound prompting unit, or a seat vibration unit.
11. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 10, wherein the light prompting unit is a luminescent glass.
12. The anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door according to claim 10, wherein the sound prompting unit is an in-vehicle speaker.
15. A computer device comprising a memory, a processor and instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor, wherein the steps of the method according to claim 13 are implemented when the processor executes the instructions.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, on which executable instructions are stored, wherein a machine performs the steps of the method according to claim 13 when the executable instructions are executed.
